Martin Markowitz is a graduate of Stanford Medical School and completed his postgraduate training in Hematology/Oncology at Cornell Medical College and Infectious Diseases at New York University. Dr. Markowitz has worked at the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (ADARC) since 1992 and currently holds the positions of Clinical Director and Staff Investigator. His seminal work in elucidating the dynamics of HIV-1 infection in vivo along with his mentor Dr. David Ho and colleagues at the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center formed the scientific foundation for triple combination therapy. In addition, his research interests have included the pathogenesis and treatment of acute HIV-1 infection, the fitness and transmission of drug-resistant HIV-1, and investigations of numerous novel antiretroviral agents as well as pathogenesis-based interventional trials. He was among the first to discuss HIV-1 cure, and perform trials of therapeutic vaccination and passive immunization as adjuncts to combination antiretroviral therapy.
